MIAMI (AP) — Tropical Storm Nicholas was moving up the Gulf Coast on Monday, threatening to bring heavy rain and floods to coastal areas of Texas, Mexico and storm-battered Louisiana. Much of the state’s coastline was under a tropical storm warning as the system was expected to bring heavy rain that could cause flash floods and urban flooding. “This is a storm that could leave heavy rain, as well as wind and probably flooding, in various different regions along the Gulf Coast. However, it is also likely that all of south Louisiana will see heavy rain this week, including areas recently affected by Hurricane Ida,” Edwards said. “Heavy rain, flash flooding appears to be the biggest threat across our region,” he said.
